Reflecting

Hi All,


I have enjoyed my time here and will miss the team. Thank you for all the support, insights, and help you have provided me over the past 8 weeks.

Team Building and Collaboration

In the winter of 2004, I left a job that I had for 15 years. It is a non-profit organization that inspires girls between the ages of 6 to 18 years of age to be strong, smart and bold. I started Girls Incorporated of Albany as a member to being a membership clerk to tutoring to have my own classroom as well as being a manager for my own center. Leaving that job and those girls was the toughest job, I ever had to do. The reason why I left is because I wasn’t making enough money to support my lifestyle as well as me wanting to go to school and better myself. As I look back, I’m glad I did what I did however; I still volunteer from time to time teaching and aspire the girls to be strong, educated, nurtured and loved. A lot of the girls, I taught back then still remember me and remember quotes and comments I gave to them. To this very day, I have to come by my job and tell me of her success and what I meant to her. At times, I want to cry, but then I look and smile and remember it was me that did that, it was me that helped her.
